In 2017, Central Kentuckian Heather Hyden faced an “upsetting, awful” and “horrific experience.” The baby she carried — a “very wanted pregnancy” — had a lethal fetal anomaly. She was induced in February of that year, medical care she would be unable to receive in Kentucky today because of the state’s near-total ban on abortion. In written testimony, Hyden raised concerns about a bill that passed unanimously out of the House Health Services Committee Thursday, saying it would further limit options for Kentuckians like her whose pregnancies are not straightforward.
